> Metal, on the other hand, begins to melt when it reaches a critical temperature (around 1300 degrees C) so will fail catastrophically. B.J. Yeh, from APA described steel being “like spaghetti” at this stage." Heat a piece of steel up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit (427 C) and you can easily bend it by hand. There's no need for it to actually melt before it loses its integrity. That's one of the main properties that makes steel useful to humans. Edit: Not a 9/11 truther or anything - I just know this from first hand experience with metal working.

>Edit: Not a 9/11 truther or anything - I just know this from first hand experience with metal working Isn't the knowledge that steel loses structural integrity at a temperature way lower than that required to melt it a sign of not believing in a 9/11 conspiracy (because 'jet fuel can't melt steel beams')? I'm confused.

  Good point. What I should have said was, "I noticed some guy a few comments down talking about 9/11, and in no way should you construe this comment as being related to that silly, silly discussion. Please. I don't care if you do or do not believe that the ghost of Nixon is in a CIA satellite reading your lips and writing down everything you say. There's another forum for that somewhere."
